9. I agree with you on that point.
The issue SHOULD revolve around the freeps and not dissing Edwards as a candidate. If freeps support Edwards it is only because they see him as less of a threat in the GE. I am not dissing any candidate. But the fact that Republicans were allowed to vote in the WI primary needs to be taken into account. I am not singling out Edwards, the WI voters did that. I just have to question Edwards incredible showing, compared to the rest of the primaries, and the difference is that Wisconsin has an open primary. So Edwards does much better in a state where Republicans can vote in primary. What conclusions do you or any other DUer draw from this? I'm asking supporters of ALL candidates to give me their thoughts.
